Fees

How much does it cost to enter?

With the growth of the Home Care Awards and the number of entries received, the processing of entries and the administration of the judging process involve real costs and so modest entry fees have been introduced to cover them.

All entries and their bona fides are checked before they are added to the judging lists. Entries are then collated and bookmarked in portfolios for the ease of the judges. The judging panels are convened, the judging process is supervised and any judging event is hosted. The cost of items associated with the judging are covered; all marks to establish a benchmark for all categories are calculated; and the short lists of finalists are compiled and published.

Entry fee: £150.00 plus VAT for each entry
Homecare Association member rate: £100.00 plus VAT for each entry.

Fees should be paid at the time of entry, by credit or debit card using the Stripe system, or you can receive an invoice for payment. Invoices should also be paid immediately, but we do allow 14 days credit to process paperwork, if needed.

How much does it cost to attend?

By way of advance notice, please note that we will always run an event to celebrate the success of Finalists after judging is complete. For 2025, the plan is for a physical event, where table places will be available at a rate per person. These charges will be additional to any entry fees. Being part of a physical event or online presentation is at the discretion of each Finalist company and the results declared are completely independent of participation.

Current rates for attendance are £290.00 for an idividual place, or £2600.00 for a table of 10, all plus UK VAT as applicable.
